a. Minimalist African dance so named by Dutch settlers because of the elaborate costumes displayed. (From Dutch: costuum + pleyen)

e. event where fans dress up as characters from favourite TV shows, the costumes used at such events [from costume + display]

f. a field planted in lettuce

g. game similar to charades invented by Lewis Carroll for the entertainment of his young friends

Seems to me that a), e) and g) are all pretty much the same. Obviously the other definitions are a lot of nonsense. I guess I'll be a good sheep and follow the flock so, for no other reason than that I'm easily led, I'll pick the middle one of those and go for e).

Well, Bingley, I'll have you know you are responsible for me missing out for the first time ever on Hoggywashery! Mebbe I looked at it fast and didn't realize what it was, or sumptin'??? I dunno...anyway... I, the definitionless, have no choice but to vote for the horny birds...D.
